Poor people seem often to be happier than rich one. They just enjoy their day. So is money linked to happiness or the lack of it?

I dont think money comes into it to be honest. Contentment and fulfillment are far more important when measuring one's happiness.

Money is linked to worries, responsibility, work, travel, enertaining, education, and stress.

Poverty is linked to appreciation, neighbourlinesss, companionship, camaraderie, early mortality rates, and indolence.wine

Happiness is like a butterfly that lands on your shoulder and then gently glides away

Probably that is the reason, as long as you are happy with what you have got. The more money around the more demands people have.bouquet

Money is linked to happiness, education, travelling, better healthcare, generosity and stress.

Poverty is linked to worse education opportunities, no travel, worse healthcare, bad diet and stress tongue laugh
